Comment 184 for bug 123064

There's a Linux Distros project at Eclipse that aims to make Eclipse easier to use on Linux.

Maybe some people from the Ubuntu team should consider joining?

Red Hat is an active participant and they have done some recent work to help things.

Or maybe talking to the Eclipse team would help?
